Automation Vision Systems are the latest cutting edge technology for the automation world.

Machine and Robot vision technologies are becoming easier and more reliable for a wide variety of industries. In the last ten years they have become faster, simpler, and more affordable.

Machine Vision can:

Provide valuable quality information that can be recorded and saved in a production database

Identify the exact product location

Identify different products in the same working envelope

Take measurements on or between products

Improve the repeatability in production processes

Inspect for defects or variations in products

Provide machine guidance for upstream or downstream process

At McAlister Design, we understand that the proper lighting is the key to any machine or robotic vision application. We specialize in providing exactly what is needed to properly view the product or process with the correct amount of resolution and field of view.

McAlister Design excels at integrating vision systems into custom design automated equipment and custom designed robot systems. We provide turn-key solutions involving CCD Cameras, OCR Cameras, Line Scan Cameras, and GigE High Resolution Cameras. We can provide all of the programming for these cameras as well as the integration with a PLC, PC, or Vision Human-Machine Interface.

McAlister Design recently became a Certified Systems Integrator (CSI) for Cognex Machine Vision Cameras. We also have experience with 2D and 3D barcode readers as well as RFID technologies.
